The right of any person to any payment under this Pension Plan shall not be subject
to assignment, alienation or voluntary or involuntary transfer, and to the fullest
extent permitted by law, shall not be subject to attachment, execution, garnishment,
sequestration or other legal or equitable process; except the recipient of any monthly
benefit may authorize the board of trustees to withhold from the monthly benefit those
funds necessary to pay for the benefits being received through the city, to pay the
certified bargaining agent of the city, and to make any payments for child support
or alimony. Other than the withholding specifically permitted herein, if any person
attempts to assign, transfer or dispose of such right, or if an attempt is made to
subject such right to such process, such assignment, transfer or disposition shall
be null and void.
